' As a mother, she had taught her four boys how to rob, kidnap and murder. She had given them private lessons in the fine art of loading and firing a Thompson submachine gun. She had plotted crimes for them, obtained paroles for them, chided them when they bungled a job, patted them on the back when they carried out her carefully planned outrages. Screaming with rage, she had turned a machine gun on agents of the federal bureau of investigation who called on her to surrender at Lake Weir and she died with that gun, still smoking, in her hands. Such was the "untimely end" of Kate Barker, known to the underworld of the midwestern "crime corridor" of a few years back as n THE "Ma." "Ma" Barker died with her kidnaping son, Fred, in a frame house palatial eight-roorented by the Karpis-Barke- r gang near Oklawaha, Fla. From the agent who led the raid on that house and from data in the files of the F. B. I., this writer official achas obtained a first-hancount of the spectacular end of Kate and Fred Barker, and of the incidents which led to discovery by of the Florida fortress. the The trail leading to the Barkers began when experts in the technical laboratory of the F. B. L identified fingerprints, found on gasoline cans in the Bremer kidnaping, as those of Arthur ("Doc") Barker, paroled murderer and son of Kate. "Doc" Barker had a sweetheart in Chicago whose name was learned by the F. B. I. agents investigating associates of the gang. For six weeks agents shadowed her. Finally, the long vigilance was rewarded. "Doc" Barker arrived at the girl's apartment one day, but the agents waited in the hope that other members of the gang also would appear. For four days thereafter, the agents trailed Barker and the girl on pleasure jaunts and shopping tours about and on several occasions Chicago they were seen to enter another apartment, not far away from the girl's. Agents were "planted" to watch the second apartment, on Pine Grove avenue. They saw two men and two women come and go from this apartment at various times but the men were not known to the bank-robbin- d n On January 8, after "Doc" Barker had been seen in his girl's apartment and the other quartet had been "checked in" at the Pine Grove avenue place, it was decided to raid both apartmentr simultaneously, or nearly so. Just before the hour for the raids, Barker and the girl emerged from the latter's apartment, and waiting agents, with drawn guns, closed in on them. "Doc" Barker started to run, slipped on some ice, fell to the ground and was seized before he could arise. The girl was taken It was not without a struggle. necessary to fire a shot. The couple was taken to the F. B. I. office quietly, and the agents hurried to aid their fellow officers at the Pine Grove cvenue flat. The inspector in charge went into the lobby and called over the house telephone to the apartment upstairs in which it was believed members of the gang were living. A woman answered. He asked for "Mr. Bolton," meaning Byron Bolton, known to be a member of the Karpis-Barke- r mob. The woman asked who was calling, and the inspector thereupon identified himself as a federal agent and demanded that everyone in the apartment come down the steps with uplifted hands. There was a frightened outcry as the phone was hung up. A moment later, the door of the apartment was opened and two women came down the stairs, with hands raised high above their heads. They were followed by Byron Bolton, likewise evidencing submission. The trio was asked why the other man did not come down. The inspector warned that resistance would mean gunfire and that the apartment building was completely surrounded by armed agent3. One of the women, frightened by this warning, shouted a plea to "Daddy" "Daddy" to surrender. was Russell Gibson, alias "Slim" Gray. Gibson meanwhile put on a bullet- - Ma" Barker Was Killed. proof vest, picked up a Browning automatic rule, turned the lights out in the kitchen and stepped onto the back porch. Agents saw him and called on him to surrender. Instead, Gibson opened fire with the rifle in an effort to clear the way and started to run down the back steps. An agent stationed at the rear returned the fire, and Gibson fell the remainder of the way down fatally wounded. In the apartment were found three Browning automatic rifles, two .351 automatic rifles, four automatic pistols, a sawed-of- l shotgun, steel vests and a large quantity of ammunition. Most important of all, however. was a torn letter found in the apartment The salvaged portion of the letter was not signed and had no address, but it referred to the pleasant life the writer was leading in Florida. It mentioned a lake with a houseboat on it and an alligator in it The alligator, it said, was named "Old Joe." With no more clues to follow than these, F. B. I. agents began a search for a lake in Florida with a houseboat and an alligator known as "Old Joe." Believe it or not the third lake visited by the agents answered the description given in the letter, completely. Houses fronting on this lake were investigated discreetly and one was found that had aroused suspicions of neighbors because of "strange goings-on.- " The occupants were described as a stout old woman of disreputable appearance, her son and daughter-in-la"Mr. and Mrs. Blackburn" and two other couples. The other couples, it was learned, had departed in an automobile that morning. The description of the old woman and her son fitted "Ma" and Fred Barker. More agents were rushed to Oklawaha by plane and automobile and plans were made to raid the house the next morning at dawn. At 7 a. m., it was light enough to see the figure of a man sleeping on a cot at the front door. The inspector in charge of the raid stepped forward toward the front porch and shouted a demand that the occupants come out of the house, hands raised. Fred Barker jumped from the cot and ran upstairs. The agents heard "Ma" Barker's raucous voice yell: "All right go ahead!" The inspector shouted: "O. K., come on. Fred first You'll come out first Fred, if you have the MONICA.

Science, the friend of man, turns murderer In times of war. Greatest triumph is to fish your friend out of the blues and make him laugh again.
